Helen Merrill - You've Got a Date With the Blues

The Meaning of the Blues

Blue was just the color of the sea
'Til my lover left me
Blue was just a blue bird in a tree
'Til he said, "Forget me"

Blue always made me think of summer
Cloudless summer sky, so fresh and warm
But now the blue I see is more like winter
Winter skies with clouds about to storm

Blue was just the color of his eyes
'Til he said, "Goodbye, dear"
Blue was just a ribbon for first prize
'Til he said, "Don't cry alone"

And blues were only torch source
Fashion for impossible genius
But now I know
Too well, I know

Too well, I know the meaning of the blue
